Hope you are all excited for this. The mod should make Rome a real challenge and the premise to me was a fun way to have a sandbox of history to play in. Also here are the time stamps to skip the intro if you want to. 0:00 Intro and Campaign Premise 8:25 Campaign Begins
Did you get the guaranteed major factions mod from the steam workshop? Because I tried using it from there but it says the mod is out of date so I don't think it runs properly?

Man, and just like that, I'm back in 2013 when you had the Hannibal Trailer icon for your channel (the one where he was crossing the alps). Nostalgic af.
Heir, you’re the best man. Been watching your channel for 6 years or so? You’ve helped distract me from a ton of life’s problems haha. Good to see some Rome 2 again :)
I remember the first playthrough I watched from Heir was his Shimazu campaign for Shogun 2, it's what brought me into total war and it brings back good memories from my childhood.
Heir, it's so awesome to see you playing the game that I found your channel on. It was your first ever Carthage campaign on release date. Man it has been one hell of journey. Thanks for being a constant source of entertainment and comfort for majority of the formative years of my life! Wow, appreciate you man!
This brings back memories. I still remember your Carthage campaign from the 'Hannibal at the Gates' DLC way back when. It's good to see Rome 2 back on the channel. This will be a fun watch!
Not sure anyone's mentioned this, but Hannibal actually met Scipio in person while part of Antiochus' court. The two of them had a bit of a back and forth verbal swordfight. Scipio asked Hannibal who he thought the best General in history was, probably intending to break his balls a little. Hannibal replied Alexander, which Scipio agreed, before putting himself second. Scipio was incredulous - probably had his ego wounded a bit, and responded by asking where he would place himself if he actually won at Zama. Hannibal replied he would then have placed himself above even Alexander.
Just finished watching back the Legendary West Rome campaign from 2016 so keen for a new Total War campaign. Loved watching you for year heir all the way from Australia
Heir, I love to see you back in Rome 2! I joined your channel back when Rome 2 was released and remember your Rome 2 campaigns with nostalgia. I also loved your TW Arena videos. So excited to follow this campaign. All the best to you!
I'm happy to see you playing another Rome 2 campaign. I've always found the Seleucids an interesting faction in Rome 2 and I am looking forward to this campaign quite a bit.
This is insane, I booted up Rome 2 today for the first time in 5 years and started a Seleucid campaign. Came to youtube and saw this video just released!
Back when Rome 2 was released, I bought it as a gift on Steam and sent to my friend and told him to hold it for me. If I finished x number of specific projects I wanted to complete, he was to gift it back to me as a reward. Well...8 years later I still haven't finished that stuff...so next best thing is to watch you play it I guess!
This is nostalgic af. I learned to play total war Rome 1 back in the day from your original Carthage campaign. Seeing you back on a Rome game is awesome
Thank you for the history lesson at the beginning. Fascinating! I think I know the ancient world a bit but I didn't know that. So this campaign will be interesting!
Selulcids are fascinating from a a Biblical perspective.Alexander who is shown to come onto the world scene in the book of Daniel .and then Antiochus Epiphanes would take over the the Jewish Temple and dedicate it to Zeus.basically the first type and shadow of the Abomination of Desolation to come later.eventually Pergamon would be known as the "seat of satan" acoording to the book of the Revelation.interestingly there was a giant statue of Zeus there..amazing history !!! looking forward to R2 campaign..
Great to see the campaign up and running, Heir. I like the historical prologue, just hope that Hannibal doesn't take all the spotlight from the fascinating Seleucid Civilization and its generals - after all its founder Seleukos was one of the generals of Alexander the Great. That being said, I am a subscriber to the channel of a Hannibal fan. Keep thematise your campaigns. :)
Thanks! Glad to hear you are excited for this. I am too. Despite Warhammer being a favorite of mine it doesn't mean I don't still love some good Rome 2 action. This is a great game.
As better and quicker commenters have already said, it is a real joy to see Heir return to Rome 2. I wish you good fortune in the wars to come, good sir
Oh man, I was so hyped when voting this campaign. But then, I totally forgot about it (life issue's) and today I found it! Great first episode, love the premise! Eager to catch up with the campaign.
I don't know if you are still watching the comments this far back but I wanted to say I am loving this campaign. I am late to the party having just picked up Rome 2 last month and had never played any of the series before. I have learned a lot watching your campaign playthroughs (loved Baktria) and have learned a lot. Hoping to catch up someday!
Please please please heir give a decent amount of episodes for this 😂😂 I’ve been watching 5 year old Rome 2 clips from you because your commentary + camera work is unmatched on this game.
I love the premise, and I think it is a very interesting "What if?". Also, considering that it might take you a while to get to Rome it may be a superpower.
Heir of Carthage doesn't know how to pronounce [Pah-Trow-klees] Patrocles :D Glad you still play the game even after everything that happened. Hope it continues and I see i'm behind on this series already by 6 episodes :P Good!
I’m sure he probably already knows this but a satrapy is the territory governed by a satrap. Satraps were the governors of the provinces. So you don’t have to say satrapies if you’re talking about a singular satrap.
I appreciate you being willing to do so. However this mod seemed like it may do well and I needed to get running. Would hate to have you doing work just for me 😀
@@HeirofCarthage I usually mod these games quit heavily even though I only use these modifications for personal use like changing stuff I don't like in already established mods, making a mod for U would be a huge step forward for me actually, and consider this a thank you after all the online battles and videos that I watched with great pleasure these passed years
Been years since I had a PC capable of playing any real games, but man Rome 2 was my drug of choice, back then. Love the setting, and the historical tidbits about Hannibal - more little anecdotes would be welcome, if they fit with the campaigns progress.

Hey Heir, just wanted to chime in- Remember how you are supposed to pronounce Heracles? Same with Patrocles; Patro-klees.
Never get tired of you playing Rome 2 man.
Likewise im still playing historical when comes to romes conquest. Attila like shitter version i just stick to rome since they figured out campaign
@@trexpen2418 The one thing Attila did better than Rome 2 was cav. In Rome 2 they just feel like soggy spaghetti...
Thanks! I am super excited to play this one.
Hell Yea Brother!
Heir of Carthage plays Rome 2 is supreme nostalgia.
It is for me too 😀
Yeah for me too, I think later I might rewatch the dei Carthage campaign it was fun.
so true ! and so cool ...

Thanks for all the kind words. And thanks for years of viewing and support. I will make these episodes as quick as I can.
This brings back memories. I still remember your Carthage campaign from the 'Hannibal at the Gates' DLC way back when. It's good to see Rome 2 back on the channel. This will be a fun watch!
Great start to the Seleucid campaign! Here's to many more victories with Hannibal!
Thanks! Appreciate all your support of the channel. I am excited to play and record this one. Gonna be lots of fun.

Hannibal and Scipio just nonchalantly arguing in some random ass court is hilarious
Yes it is funny.
Yea I read this. If it really did happen then this is hilarious. I love it.
This is how it all began for me watching you play Rome 2 so many years ago, good times then. Even better times now. Keep up the great content my man
Yea I loved my time in this game. Definitely fun to take a walk down memory lane.
I love the seleucides. Especially in Rome 1. In 2, I turn Mesopotamia into a bread basket to feed my armies that I build on the Mediterranean coast.
Yea they are such fun faction in both games.
Just finished watching back the Legendary West Rome campaign from 2016 so keen for a new Total War campaign. Loved watching you for year heir all the way from Australia
Lol West Rome was a great time. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy this one too!
Seleucids are hands down the funniest faction to play as in both Rome TWs
They are certainly unique and give players a lot of options and variety to enjoy
Heir, I love to see you back in Rome 2! I joined your channel back when Rome 2 was released and remember your Rome 2 campaigns with nostalgia. I also loved your TW Arena videos. So excited to follow this campaign. All the best to you!

Yea they are a fun faction with an action packed start.
I've been waiting for ye- I mean weeks! The seleucids are my favorite faction, thanks heir!
It took me while but it is finally here!
Finally man, I've waited for this, thank you!!! So much nostalgia ...
Thanks! Glad to hear you are excited for it. I am having a lot of fun with this.
Thank you for the video!
Do not forget to ask Appius how not to start campaigns!
This is insane, I booted up Rome 2 today for the first time in 5 years and started a Seleucid campaign. Came to youtube and saw this video just released!
Yes, Im so excited for this, can't wait to watch it! Love Rome 2 and excited to see you starting a new campaign!
Just wanted to say i started watching you when I was in 5th grade. I am in college now, and a history class made me remember your channel!
Back when Rome 2 was released, I bought it as a gift on Steam and sent to my friend and told him to hold it for me. If I finished x number of specific projects I wanted to complete, he was to gift it back to me as a reward.

Hope you get to play it but till then I will try to give you plenty of this to watch.
bumper boats piloted by orcs sounds hilarious and terrifying at the same time
This is nostalgic af. I learned to play total war Rome 1 back in the day from your original Carthage campaign. Seeing you back on a Rome game is awesome
Love some Rome 2 content from you. One of my favorites after the emperor update. Super excited.
Thanks! Glad to hear you are excited for it.
Thank you for the history lesson at the beginning. Fascinating! I think I know the ancient world a bit but I didn't know that. So this campaign will be interesting!
Awesome to see you back on here dude been watching you for so long.
I've been really looking forward to this. Thank you, Heir.
I am excited to play it. Took me a while but I was hoping to get the mods and scenario properly.
Heir, you brought me into Rome 2. glad to see u back in it
Selulcids are fascinating from a a Biblical perspective.Alexander who is shown to come onto the world scene in the book of Daniel .and then Antiochus Epiphanes would take over the the Jewish Temple and dedicate it to Zeus.basically the first type and shadow of the Abomination of Desolation to come later.eventually Pergamon would be known as the "seat of satan" acoording to the book of the Revelation.interestingly there was a giant statue of Zeus there..amazing history !!! looking forward to R2 campaign..

Hannibal definitely looking for some revenge but hoping Antiochus will join him and also excited to let Hannibal play with Alexandrian tactics.
I’m learning how to play this game by watching you play. Cheers! Love your vids.
Bruuuuuh i haven't watched your videos in ages, glad u came back to Rome 2 and hopefully I'll see the whole series.
So excited for your rome content making a return! keep up the good work heir
Thanks! Glad to hear you are excited for this. I am too. Despite Warhammer being a favorite of mine it doesn't mean I don't still love some good Rome 2 action. This is a great game.
Love total war rome 2, love to see more of these in the future.
Suddenly I hear that ol theme song from Welcome Back ,Carter show. welcome backk!!!!!
Aye this is the game that brought me to your channel! Excited to watch and get those shots of nostalgia
Awesome to hear. Hope you enjoy this one! I am super excited to play it.
Hurrah and rejoice, Heir is back on Rome 2! The one thing I subscribed for all that time ago.
Hey Heir your videos, got me to buy Rome 2 back in the day. So glad to see it back on the channel!
Hope you enjoyed playing the game. I had over 1000 hours of fun on this one. Thanks for watching!
Even after all this years, this is still a great game! Classic!
glad to see more things from you :DD
Hope you enjoy it!
wasn't around during your Rome 2 days, but im looking fwd to seeing what you can do
great to see you playing total war rome 2 again
Knowing that elephants are my fav animals is gonna make it so much more fun. But also sad.
As better and quicker commenters have already said, it is a real joy to see Heir return to Rome 2. I wish you good fortune in the wars to come, good sir
Great stuff my man...
Glad you enjoyed it!
YAS!! Super excited for this series!!
Thanks! I am excited to play it as well.
Awesome. I love the purity of the campaign, I don't mod hardly and If I would it would only be the minor tweaks. Digging the sandbox flavor also.
Glad you do fleet battles
So looking forward to this. Very excited.
I glad to hear it! Gonna be a lot of fun.
The AI in that battle was very questionable haha! Great to see some Rome 2 though :)
Oh man, I was so hyped when voting this campaign. But then, I totally forgot about it (life issue's) and today I found it! Great first episode, love the premise! Eager to catch up with the campaign.
And it begins ... Looking forward to the next thrilling instalment Heir :)
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it.
Great series.
Love from portugal. Still watching you since 2011
Thanks! Hope all is well. Appreciate so many years of viewership. I will do my best to keep these coming quickly.
Hell yeaaa,heir is back babyyyyyyyyyy
Lol here I am!

Man I been waitin TOO long for this
Me too! Time to get it done now.
Please please please heir give a decent amount of episodes for this 😂😂 I’ve been watching 5 year old Rome 2 clips from you because your commentary + camera work is unmatched on this game.
Battles I’ve already seen and try to convince myself I’ve forgotten what happened 😂 please more online battles if you can
Right now I am planning to release at least 3 a week.
@@HeirofCarthage make sure I’ll like all of em 🦾
I love the premise, and I think it is a very interesting "What if?". Also, considering that it might take you a while to get to Rome it may be a superpower.
That is what I am hoping. I want a brutal fight against Rome and some other large factions.
How dare you play selucids, HEIR OF CARTHAGE, 1 year later I'm going to enjoy
9 years later...i now know i can name my armies! lol, always a student :)
Yess!!1 The return of the ROYAL PELTASTS!! Greatest unit in total war HISTORY
Royal Peltast = Auto Win
It's about time!
Indeed it is!
love it when you play rome II. :)
Rome 2 series from Heir himself, in 2021?! Legendary!
😀 Glad you are excited for it. I am too.
Heir of Carthage doesn't know how to pronounce [Pah-Trow-klees] Patrocles :D
Glad you still play the game even after everything that happened. Hope it continues and I see i'm behind on this series already by 6 episodes :P Good!
I wouldn't say I know hot o pronounce anything Greek lol. Thanks for the support!
Those satrapies.... maybe i'm mistaking them from those of Attila but i remember them being super backstabbing
They certainly can be. Gonn have to keep a tight leash on them.
Love this
Glad to hear it thanks!
I literally started a Seleucid campaign yesterday lol. Good luck and have fun.
Good timing 😀
Heir on Rome 2!!!!!
This is where the fun begins
Let the bing watching begin👍
Wow that first battle against the Egyptians was.. rough by the AI.
Finally!
Yep! Time to walk down nostalgia lane.
👏👏👏👏 yes nice 👍
Nice Rome 2 campaign.
New campaign! Yesss
Hope you enjoy it!
Aaaaaaah yeah! =D
Wooohoooo!
😀
The Elephant trumpeted. Then the world went black with a sickening crunch.
lol I love it!
Rome 2 content is back baby!
I’m sure he probably already knows this but a satrapy is the territory governed by a satrap. Satraps were the governors of the provinces. So you don’t have to say satrapies if you’re talking about a singular satrap.
You faction leader is Antiochus the first it was Antiochus the third ‘the Great’ that gave Hannibal command of the fleet.
Yea the campaign starts in 272 BC way before either of them were probably alive. But we will just pretend :)
I really wish you would've trusted me to make the mod to make Rome stronger 😔 I'm a fan of you for long and it was you who I made me love TW
I appreciate you being willing to do so. However this mod seemed like it may do well and I needed to get running. Would hate to have you doing work just for me 😀

Yesss Rome 2!
The old game keeps on giving.
HoC, Rome 2, what's not to love!
Lol thanks!
Ooh my favourite factions
Woohoo!
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching.
Soon Hannibal the old dog of war shall be unleashed once more. Alexander rises again!
Yep! Gonna give him one more chance to get it right.
Taking notes on these mods 📝
Yes!!!
😀
HECK YEAH Missed that game
Hope you are enjoying it so far! Just released episode 4 too.
now i know where the edics tab LOL
Been away from Rome 2 for abit now, maybe over a year but fancy going back to it again now
I hope you come back play another Octavian campaign, i LOVE this game!
Been years since I had a PC capable of playing any real games, but man Rome 2 was my drug of choice, back then. Love the setting, and the historical tidbits about Hannibal - more little anecdotes would be welcome, if they fit with the campaigns progress.
Hopefully you will have a PC again one day. Right now they are too expensive. Hopefully it goes back to normal. Glad you are enjoying it so far!
The best historical total war game
I think I would agree with that
lol nice! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you are enjoying it!
lets goo
Seleucids gonna be rolling through Rome for sure.
